Special events held at parks or the fairgrounds also require insurance coverages by the <br />sponsoring group. For example, the Firefighters Association provides coverage naming <br />the County as an additional Insured for their annual fair. Another user group, the Farm <br />Bureau, entered into an agreement with the County in which they donated an exhibition <br />building in exchange for the County providing special events insurance for activities they <br />sponsor at the site such as a youth livestock show. Hobart Park's picnic pavilion is <br />available for group rental; the permittee agrees to hold the County harmless for injury or <br />damage as a result of the group's organized activity. <br />In summary, the.County's Board -adopted administrative policy provides for the insurance <br />coverages required for use of County facilities. With liability generally following ownership <br />and/or control, it is important that public facilities be used and insured appropriately to <br />best protect the common interests of all taxpayers. Buildings such as -.libraries and <br />community centers are designed for public gatherings. Other facilities, such as <br />Emergency Services' stationse are designed for emergency response centers and are <br />best used by trained emergency responders. Recreation and exhibition areas such as <br />the fairgrounds and Hobart Park pavilion are designed for specific uses by organized <br />groups. Other recreation areas are on a first-come, first-served basis for individuals, and <br />the County relies upon its statutory and case law protections for liability. <br />Administrator Chandler advised that this is an informational <br />item and no action is needed. <br />Personnel Director Jack Price explained that, basically, we <br />are just using everything the way it is designed to be used. <br />Discussion ensued regarding public organizations using County <br />buildings for meeting places, and Administrator Chandler advised <br />that we require them to have public liability insurance. <br />AWARD OF BID 40-64 - CR -512 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS• AND CR -510 & CR - <br />512 INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 5/18/94: <br />TO: James E.
